I’m kicking this Monday off with some necessary Autumn staples – the gray knit dress, the black boot & the backpack. This outfit is what I think every closet should offer as we head into the cooler months. These staples can be worn just as well separately as together and are a great foundation to your wardrobe. I can’t wait to wear this dress over opaques or with over-the-knee boots! The backpack and boots can work with jeans, skirts, shorts, playsuits…. need I go on.

I’m so excited about my Proenza Schouler backpack that I purchased from Green With Envy this week! I honestly went through months of trying to decide on the ‘it bag’ I needed in my life before I settled on this beauty. I wanted a bag that I could use everyday that looked chic and edgy, big enough to carry all my staples and comfortable enough that I could throw over my shoulders. It also needed to be versatile enough to be worn with anything from a classy dress to severely ripped jeans. What I love most of all is that it can be carried in a multitude of ways. It really is a great investment bag that I will definitely get mileage from & will certainly get more beautiful with age.
